The rear hanger, behind the muffler, is not what normally fails. The tail pipe has two metal arms back there that hook into the rubber donuts, usually the arms rust off and the tail pipe sags. There are replacement "arms" that can be bought after market and clamped on to the tail pipe.
When I replaced the muffler on a 1994 850T, I had to replace the rear hanger that is bolted to the body because the hanger design was changed in later years including the "arms" location on the exhaust pipe.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
